Excellent product, much better quality than the comparably priced "Wal-Mart" glasses. Easy to use web site and fast delivery.
Debspecs sent a replacement pair almost immediately after I posted the review below. Thanks. I still find them a bit heavier than my favorite Denvers, and since that time I picked up a pair of Clics that I like best of all. They are light, robust, permanently and conveniently hanging around your neck, and the magnetic catch is so strong you can reconnect them without looking. Debspecs sells them for about $10 less than I paid. Definitely recommend Denvers and Clics.
A below average look and feel compared to other glasses I've purchased at Deb's Specs. These glasses broke at the screw attaching the arm to the frame after only a month's use. from DebSpecs: review written OVER 2 years after purchase. We have a 30 day return policy. We were never contacted.
I may have got a bad pair, but the hinge broke in the first hour I had them. The screw that holds the earpiece to the frame snapped while I was putting them on. from DebSpecs: sorry, defective pair. replaced asap.
I got these glasses so I could have several around the house. I love the comfortable fit and style. I was surprised to have my 14 year-old niece tell me that if she wore glasses, she would want this type.
I'm sure I will order more in the future!

Had a great experience here recently. Wasn't sure what to expect really (went in for the free exam), but the office seemed very clean and professional. My xrays were taken by a friendly girl who made me feel right at home, and the dentist who did my exam was patient and gentle (Dr. H-something? Can't spell it, but turns out he's a homegrown Mainer!). All in all, I felt very comfortable and cared for. Recommend this office/dentist.
Thieves – My car was overheating, and the mechanics at Handa quickly identified that the fan switch was the problem. I suppose they were disappointed with such a quick and inexpensive fix, so they suggested problems with the distributor after disassembling it. They then tried to piece it back together so as to make money off of labor expenses rather than replacing the entire distributor. In short, they suggested $1050 in repairs for what began as a fan switch then turned into distributor reassembly. I called AAA and had my car towed to another mechanic.

Fuel barges explode, catch fire in Alabama; 3 injured
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Multiple explosions aboard two fuel barges near Mobile, Ala., led to a major fire Wednesday night that left three people critically injured with burns and created a situation so unstable that fire and rescue officials decided to let the fire burn into the night.
Firefighters from Mobile and U.S. Coast Guard officials responded after 8:30 p.m. CDT to a pair of explosions involving the gas barges in an area of the Mobile River east of downtown, authorities said.
As they were responding, a third explosion occurred at about 9:30 p.m., Mobile Fire and Rescue spokesman Steve Huffman wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Three more explosions followed over the next few hours.
The Coast Guard said early Thursday that a one-nautical-mile safety zone had been established around one barge, which it identified as an "empty compressed natural gas barge that was at the dock for cleaning."
Authorities said three people were transported to University of South Alabama Medical Center after suffering burn-related injuries. Huffman identified them as workers with Oil Recovery Co.
The three were in critical condition early Thursday, according to nursing administrator Danny Whatley.
Fire officials said they planned to let the barges burn overnight.
The Carnival Triumph, the cruise ship that became disabled in the Gulf of Mexico last February before it was towed to Mobile's port, was evacuated, said Alan Waugh, who lives at the Fort Conde Inn in downtown Mobile, across the river from the scene of the explosions. Waugh saw the blasts and said throngs of Carnival employees and others were clustered on streets leading toward the river as authorities evacuated the shipyard.
"It literally sounded like bombs going off around. The sky just lit up in orange and red," he said, "We could smell something in the air, we didn't know if it was gas or smoke." Waugh said he could feel the heat from the explosion and when he came back inside, his partner noticed he had what appeared to be black soot on his face.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Ofc. Carlos Vega said the initial blast took place in a ship channel near the George C. Wallace Tunnel — which carries traffic from Interstate 10 under the Mobile River. The river runs south past Mobile and into Mobile Bay, which in turn flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
Video from WALA-TV shows flames engulfing a large section of the barge, and a video that a bystander sent to AL.com showed the fiery explosions and billowing smoke over the river.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear, Huffman and Vega said. Huffman wrote early Thursday that the incident involved "two barges, six explosions so far."
"Once (the fire) is out and safe, a full investigation will take place," he wrote.
Mobile Fire Chief Steve Dean told AL.com he was confident the fire — which he said involves gas like what would be found at a service station pump — wouldn't spread to nearby industrial properties, including the shipyard where the Carnival cruise ship is docked.
Huffman said the ship is directly across the river from the incident — about two football fields in length.
The explosion comes two months after the 900-foot-long Triumph was towed to Mobile after becoming disabled on the Gulf during a cruise by an engine room fire, leaving thousands of passengers to endure cold food, unsanitary conditions and power outages for several days. The ship is still undergoing repairs there, with many workers living on board.
Carnival didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment late Wednesday.
Earlier this month, the cruise ship was dislodged from its mooring by a windstorm that also caused, in a separate incident, two shipyard workers to fall into Mobile Bay. While one worker was rescued, the other's body was pulled from the water more than a week later.

Xapian is a search engine library, scalable to collections containing hundreds of millions of documents. It's written in C++ with bindings for Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, Ruby, and Lua. It is a highly adaptable toolkit that allows developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It supports the Probabilistic Information Retrieval model and also a rich set of boolean query operators. Omega is a Web search application built upon the Xapian library. It can index a Web server's document tree (including HTML, PDF, OpenOffice, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Works, WordPerfect, RTF, PS, etc.), or data exported from arbitrary sources (e.g. SQL databases).
PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various archives. The programmer defines a "write directory" on the physical filesystem. No file writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that write directory, for security. For file reading, the programmer lists directories and archives that form a "search path". Once the search path is defined, it becomes a single, transparent, hierarchical filesystem. This makes for easy access to ZIP files in the same way as you access a file directly on the disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive that will override a previous archive on a per-file basis. Symbolic links can be disabled, for added safety. Finally, PhysicsFS gives you a platform- abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available, the user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program is running, etc.

Yes, yes, just for exactude.
True, but in this case, it doesn't matter. If it approaches negative infinity or infinity from either direction, it is still a vertical tangent.
It depends of which side you are limiting. If x < -2 and x --> -2 then x+2<0 and 1/(x+2) --> -oo.
Oy, I completely missed a much more direct way to do the limit:
Since x+2 approaches zero as x approaches -2, x+2 is very close to 0 before it gets there, in other words, very small. (x+2)^(1/3) then also becomes increasingly small, and multiplying this by 3 has basically no effect as it will also become increasingly small. So 1 over this means it goes towards infinity.
f(x) = abs(x), a corner exists at f(0). It is literally a corner.
Multiplying this by we get:
Now x+2 approaches 0 as x approaches -2. But we know that f(x)^(1/3) > f(x) if f(x) < 1. So the numerator gets (relatively) larger and the denominator gets smaller as x approaches -2. Therefore the slope approaches infinity, and you have a verticle tangent.
Yes, it isn't differenciable. And I don't know what is corner, too. Try at
I just noticed that it isn't differentiable either...
ok, so my grpah doesn't look like that.. so it doesn't have a cusp, correct?

Now it's better.
like what? your picture didn't show up
I don't know what is corner, but I think cusp is something like this:

The Nets have won three straight games by 20 or more points for the first time in the team's NBA history.
Deron Williams added 14 points and Andray Blatche chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds as the Nets ended a five game home losing streak against Phoenix.
Jared Dudley led the Suns with 18 points and Shannon Brown had 15 off the bench as Phoenix lost its fifth straight and for the 11th time in 12 games.
Brooklyn trailed 53-46 at the half and looked as if the Suns were going to get their third victory on the road this season.
The third quarter has troubled Brooklyn all season but they ended up turning things around this time, outscoring Phoenix 28-13 in the quarter.
Brooklyn went on a 24-6 run that stretched into the fourth quarter after C.J. Watson's jumper evened it 60-all with 4:25 left in the quarter. Brooks, who filled in for Gerald Wallace, who left the game with an injury, scored the last six points of the quarter for the Nets.
After both teams turned the ball over to begin the final quarter, Williams drove past Goran Dragic to make it 78-66. After a Phoenix timeout, Reggie Evans, who grabbed 15 rebounds, made a layup and Williams then found Johnson to make it 81-66. Johnson then came back with a 3-pointer to make it 84-66.
The Nets held Phoenix without a basket for 4 1/2 minutes before Luis Scola's jumper with 7:28 remaining in the game made it 84-68.
With 6:09 left in the first quarter, Wallace went for a dunk but P.J. Tucker contested the shot. Wallace landed on his right shoulder and laid on the floor while a Nets trainer checked on him. Wallace was able to walk off on his own to the team's locker room. X-rays were negative but he did bruise his ribs.
NOTES: The last road for the Suns was at Cleveland on Nov.

Life in a city, 40 km from Fukushima
Our colleagues at Friends of the Earth Japan are writing a blog on life after the earthquake and tsunami. They will be documenting how they, and fellow citizens, are rebuilding their lives and addressing some of the issues that have arisen as the country recovers from its biggest crisis since World War II.
I would like to introduce an essay from one of our friends, who lives in Iwaki City, 40 km from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Two weeks after the hydrogen explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant building, we've returned to Iwaki City at last. Iwaki is 40 km away from the Fukushima plant and is neither within the 20 km evacuation zone nor within the 30 km safety zone.
However, immediately after the nuclear explosion following the earthquakes and tsunamis, we were not able to determine the degree of risks involved and evacuated to Ibaraki Prefecture, 160 km from Iwaki city.
My wife works at a high school, 34 km from the Fukushima plant. Two days after the evacuation, she insisted on returning to Iwaki City. I was against this. At the time, there'd been a second hydrogen explosion. Upon hearing about this, my wife still persisted with her plans to return and we began to quarrel. One hour after the second explosion, the school finally got in contact with her with an official notice to stay on stand-by and not to return, my wife conceded.
I was relieved to settle this matter. We then began to worry about our cat that was left behind. This cat, being semi-wild, lies idly during the day in the neighboring field and returns home at night. We were certain that she would take refuge in the field and was not likely to starve, thus the problem was her radiation exposure.
The radiation monitoring began in Iwaki City and was reported to be about 1 micro sieverts per hour (Sv/h) in the atmosphere above normal levels. The soil contamination too appears relatively serious. As our cat lives in the field, she must be covered with the dirt. I wonder how much she has been exposed to.
Two weeks later as we returned to Iwaki city, our cat was fortunately alive and well. I wondered what she had been eating. We brought her into the bathroom immediately and washed her with some cat-shampoo. So as not to bring the radioactive material into the house, we had initially decided to wash her outside. However, the joy of finding her alive left us with no such reason.
The hardest part came afterwards. The cat naturally wants to go outside; she kept crying so that we could not keep her indoors any longer. As we told her, "outside you will be exposed to radiation", she would not listen and began rolling around in the field again.
Like many cats, our cat too dislikes getting wet; therefore we cannot wash her every day. We ourselves are wearing masks when outside and we take our clothes off in the entrance hall so as not to bring the radiation material into our bedroom. But is it any good at all if the cat comes in full of dirt?
Thus far when we brought her inside our home, we used disposable body-towels. However, since these towels are relatively expensive, and do not come in large amounts, we opted to use baby-wipes. We soak them very lightly and wipe her three times and needless to say they are then discarded.
We are well aware of the radiation risks and have some knowledge. Yet as we restart our lives, we end up not thinking of this risks as everyday needs and emotional needs take over. People living outside the immediate danger are far more sensitive to such risks. In fact, prior to our return to Iwaki City, our family members and friends living outside Fukushima Prefecture were very concerned and strongly opposed our return.
Despite this, my wife decided to return out of her sense of duty and out of her guilt for left behind. While I, with my affection for our cat, selfishly reasoned that "the plant will not explode immediately," "we can secure the gasoline if needed," "1 micro Sv/h does not present a high risk," and so on.
Upon returning, we found the shelves of the supermarket empty and about 100 cars lined up at the gas station. Yet here the sky is blue, and so ordinary is our everyday it makes it difficult to believe that only 40 km from here are the damaged nuclear plants.
Whether our cat is exposed to radiation is still unknown, and recently we nicknamed her Sievert. More accurately, as the cat is treated as a nuclear material, Becquerel is appropriate. Therefore, we thought of calling her Becky, however, my wife thought Sievert prettier and there was no use in arguing.
By continuing this life, the risk of radiation will be forgotten unless the situation worsens at the plants or until the onset of cancer emerges. I wonder for those who have settled here for good, this may well be a happier life.
Even if her life ends prematurely, our cat might be content to roll around in the field as usual. I too am defeated by my own emotion and no longer troubled by the thought of letting our cat into our home even if this means shortening my life a little.

Southern Baptist Theology
Whence and Whither?Timothy George
The confusion Doops encountered about his own religious identity is symptomatic of many other Baptist Christians who, unlike Doops, have indeed taken the plunge but who, no more than he, have any solid understanding about what that means in a post-denominational age of generic religion and dog-tags Christianity. Several years ago I published an essay entitled "The Renewal of Baptist Theology" which began with the following lamentation:
There is a crisis in Baptist life today which cannot be resolved by bigger budgets, better programs, or more sophisticated systems of data processing and mass communication. It is a crisis of identity rooted in a fundamental theological failure of nerve. The two major diseases of contemporary church are spiritual amnesia (we have forgotten who we are) and ecclesiastical myopia (whoever we are, we are glad we are not like "them").While these maladies are not unique to the people of God called Baptists, they are perhaps most glaringly present among us.[2]This article is a sequel to that earlier essay. First of all, I want to point out some of the difficulties in speaking about the theological identity of Baptists. Then, in the heart of the article, I will present a mosaic for the renewal of Baptist theology by identifying five major components for such an agenda.
Diversity and AdversityThe first problem in sorting out the theological identity of Baptists is the sheer diversity of the movement. From the beginning of the Baptist experiment in seventeenth-century England, General (Arminian) and Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists developed diverse, even mutually incompatible, paradigms for what it meant to be a Baptist. The Particulars, who were better educated, better organized and more successful than the Generals, forged alliances with other mainstream Dissenting bodies denying that they were in any way guilty of "those heterodoxies and fundamental errors" which had been unfairly attributed to them.[3] The Generals, on the other hand, were drawn into the orbit of that "swarm of sectaries and schismatics," as John Taylor put it, which included Levelers, Ranters, Seekers, Quakers, and, at the fag end of the Puritan movement, the mysterious Family of Love. It was, as Christopher Hill has called it, a world turned upside down. An anonymous rhymester may well have had the General Baptists in mind when he penned these lines in 1641: "When women preach and cobblers pray, the fiends in hell make holiday."[4]
The diversification of the Baptist tradition which began in England was accelerated in America where the great fact of national life was the frontier-a seemingly endless expanse of space which offered limitless opportunities for escaping the past. "If you and yours don't agree with me and mine, you can pack your Scofield Bibles in your hip pocket and start your own church!" And so they did. And the line stretches from Roger Williams who left Massachusetts to practice soul-liberty in Rhode Island to Brigham Young who carried the Mormons to Utah to Jim Jones in California and David Koresh in Waco. The frontier was always there.
As for the Baptists, one only has to skim through Mead's Handbook of Denominations to appreciate the bewildering variety. Among many others, there are American Baptists, Southern Baptists, National Baptists, United Baptists, Conservative Baptists, General Association of Reformation Baptists (GARB), Free Will Baptists, Landmark Baptists, Duck River and Kindred Associations of Baptists, Six Principle Baptists, Primitive Baptists, Seventh Day Baptists, Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Predestinarian Baptists and the National Baptist Evangelical Life and Soul-Saving Assembly of the USA, Inc.! That's a lot of Baptists! How do you talk about theological identity amidst that kind of variety?
There's a second factor we also need to consider-not only diversity within the tradition but adversity from the environing culture. While Baptists in America, especially in the South, have long been accustomed to the accoutrements of an established religion, we began as a small, persecuted sect. Long after the 1689 Act of Toleration granted statutory freedom of worship, Baptists, along with other Nonconformists in England, suffered harassment, discrimination, and ridicule. One critic labeled them as "miscreants begat in rebellion, born in sedition, and nursed in faction."[5] The struggles for religious liberty continued for Baptists in America where Obadiah Holmes was publicly beaten on the streets of Danvers, Massachusetts and John Leland was clapped up in a Virginia jail.
An example of the low esteem in which Baptist folk were held in the early nineteenth century was recorded by David Benedict who traveled by horseback through all the seventeen states of the new nation collecting historical information and impressions about the Baptists. One person, "a very honest and candid old lady," gave Benedict the following impression she had formed of the Baptists:
There was a company of them in the back part of our town, and an outlandish set of people they certainly were...You could hardly find one among them but what was deformed in some way or other. Some of them were hair-lipped, others were bleary-eyed, or hump-backed, or bow-legged, or clump-footed; hardly any of them looked like other people. But they were all strong for plunging, and let their poor ignorant children run wild, and never had the seal of the covenant put on them.[6]Despite diversity within and adversity without, by mid-nineteenth century Baptists in America had developed a remarkable unity of purpose and vision, a theological consensus which even cut across the seismic fault line produced by slavery and the Civil War. Thus Francis Wayland, a Northern Baptist, could write:
I do not believe that any denomination of Christians exists, which, for so long a period as the Baptist, have maintained so invariably the truth of their early confessions...The theological tenets of the Baptists, both in England and America, may be briefly stated as follows: they are emphatically the doctrines of the Reformation, and they have been held with singular unanimity and consistency.[7]Thus despite countless splits and some doctrinal defections (e.g. the lapse of certain Baptists into Universalism), there emerged among Baptists in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century America what might be called an orthodox Baptist consensus, represented in the North by Augustus H. Strong, in the South by E. Y. Mullins.
One knew instinctively when the bounds of this consensus had been transgressed. Thus in the controversy surrounding the forced departure of Crawford Howell Toy from Southern Seminary in 1879, both Toy himself and the colleagues who bid him a tearful adieu were all aware, as Toy himself put it, that he "no longer stood where most of his brethren did."[8]
Erosion of Theological ConsensusThe history of the Baptist movement in the twentieth century could be largely written as the story of the erosion of that theological consensus which obtained in most places until the Fundamentalist-Modernist disputes. In the face of the pressures of this era, the Baptist apologetic made a twofold response, neither of which was really adequate to deal with the challenge at hand. The first response was an appeal to "Baptist distinctives." In part this effort was fueled by old-fashioned denominational braggadocio, as seen in the book Baptist Why and Why Not published by Baptist Sunday School Board in 1900. Chapter titles include: "Why Baptist and Not Methodist," "Why Baptist and Not Episcopalian," "Why Immersion and Not Sprinkling," "Why Close Communion and Not Open Communion," etc.[9]
Further emphasis on Baptist distinctives such as the separation of church and state, the non-sacramental character of the ordinances, and the non-creedal character of our confessions appeared as a litany of negative constraints, rather than the positive exposition of an essential doctrinal core. Indeed, for some Baptists these so-called distinctives, often interpreted in an attenuated, reductionistic form, became the essence of the Baptist tradition itself.
This consensus was further eroded by what may be called the privatization of Baptist theology. Historically Baptist life was shaped by strong communitarian features. The congregation was not merely an aggregate of like-minded individuals, but rather a body of baptized believers gathered in solemn covenant with one another and the Lord. Nor were Baptists doctrinal anarchists who boasted of their "right" to believe in anything they wanted to. Instead of flaunting their Christian freedom in this way, Baptists used it to produce and publish confessions of faith both as a means of declaring their own faith to the world and of guarding the theological integrity of their own fellowship.[10] Nor did Baptists want their young children "to think for themselves," as the liberal cliché has it, but instead to be thoroughly grounded in the faith once for all delivered to the saints. Thus they developed Baptist catechisms and used them in both home and church to instruct their children in the rudiments of Christian theology.
The communitarian character of Baptist life, exemplified by covenants, confessions, and catechisms, was undermined by the privatization of Baptist theology and the rising tide of modern rugged individualism which swept through American culture in the early twentieth century. It should be noted that this movement influenced Baptists at both ends of the religious spectrum. Liberal Baptists followed the theological trajectory of Schleiermacher and Ritschl into revisionist models of theology which denied, in some cases, the most fundamental truths of the gospel.[11] At the other extreme, anti-intellectual pietism and emotion-laden revivalism pitted theology against piety, soul religion against a reflective faith, thus producing a schizophrenic split between sound doctrine and holy living. Although Billy Sunday belonged to another denomination, many Baptists could resonate with his assertion that he did not know any more about theology than a jack-rabbit knew about ping-pong!
Thus there developed, not least among Southern Baptists, a kind of theological vacuity, a doctrinal numbness, which resulted in a "form of godliness which denied the power thereof," an insipid culture religion cut off from the vital wellsprings of the historic Baptist heritage. Denominational pragmatism became the infallible dogma of Southern Baptist life. In the three decades following World War II, Baptist bureaucrats and denominational elites gradually led the SBC toward alignment with mainline Protestant concerns. For example, as amazing as it seems now, the SBC Christian Life Commission during these years was an ardent supporter of the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights. Without some kind of conservative resurgence, Southern Baptists would doubtless have followed the same path of spiritual decline and theological erosion evident in so many of the mainline denominations.[12]
It should be stated clearly, however, that the mere replacement of one set of bureaucrats with another doth not a reformation make! The conservative victory in the SBC will prove hollow unless it is accompanied by genuine spiritual and theological renewal. The 150th anniversary of the founding of the SBC is a proper occasion to consider a renewed framework of theological integrity for a world which looks very different from that of 1845 when 293 "delegates," as they were then called, met in Augusta, Georgia and adopted a plan "for eliciting, combining and directing the energies of the whole denomination in one sacred effort, for the propagation of the gospel."[13]
What are the benchmarks for shaping Baptist theological identity for such a time as this? Rather than put forth subtle speculations or a new methodology, I propose that we look again at five classic principles drawn from our own Baptist heritage. These five affirmations form a cluster of convictions which have seen us through turbulent storms in the past. They are worthy anchors for us to cast into the sea of modernity as we seek not merely to weather the storm but to sail with confidence into the future God has prepared for us.
Identity Markers1. Orthodox Convictions. In 1994 the Southern Baptist Convention unanimously adopted a resolution acknowledging that "Southern Baptists have historically confessed with all true Christians everywhere belief in the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the full deity and perfect humanity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His substitutionary atonement for sins, His resurrection from the dead, His exaltation to the right hand of God, and His triumphal return; and we recognize that born again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ may be found in all Christian denominations."
Baptists are orthodox Christians who stand in continuity with the dogmatic consensus of the early church on matters such as the scope of Holy scripture (canon), the doctrine of God (Trinity), and the person and work of Jesus Christ (Christology). Leon McBeth is correct when he observes that Baptists have "often used confessions not to proclaim `Baptist distinctives' but instead to show how similar Baptists were to other orthodox Christians."[14] Thus the "Orthodox Confession" of 1678 incorporated (article 38) the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds declaring that all three "ought thoroughly to be received, and believed. For we believe, that they may be proved, by most undoubted authority of Holy Scripture and are necessary to be understood of all Christians."[15] Reflecting this same impulse, the Baptists who gathered in London for the inaugural meeting of the Baptist World Alliance in 1905 stood in that assembly and recited in unison the Apostles' Creed.
Fundamentalism arose in the early part of this century as a protest against the concessions and denials of liberal theologians on such cardinal tenets as the virgin birth of Christ, the inerrancy of the Bible, penal substitutionary atonement, etc. This was a valid and necessary protest and we should be grateful for those worthy forebears who stood with courage and conviction on these matters. However, the problem with fundamentalism as a theological movement was its tendency toward reductionism-not what it affirmed, but what it left out.
In recent years the inspiration and authority of the Bible have again assumed a major role in Baptist polemics. From the drafting of the Baptist Faith and Message in 1963 through the adoption of the Presidential Theological Study Committee Report in 1994, Southern Baptists have repeatedly affirmed their confidence in the inerrancy or total truthfulness of Holy Scripture. As the latter report declares, "What the Bible says, God says; what the Bible says happened, really happened; every miracle, every event, in every book of the Old and New Testaments is altogether true and trustworthy." In more recent years, however, the SBC has found it necessary to address other pressing doctrinal issues such as the being of God and the importance of using biblical language to address Him (over against contemporary feminism), and our belief in Jesus Christ as sole and sufficient Savior (over against universalism and soteriological pluralism). Southern Baptists need to cultivate a holistic orthodoxy, based on a high view of the Scriptures and congruent with the Trinitarian and Christological consensus of the early church. Only in this way will we avoid the dangers of rigid reductionism on the one hand and liberal revisionism on the other.
2. Evangelical Heritage. Baptists are evangelical Christians who affirm with Martin Luther and John Calvin both the formal and material principles of the Reformation: Scripture alone and justification by faith alone. In setting forth these twin peaks of evangelical faith, the Reformers were not introducing new doctrines or novel ideas. They argued like this: If the doctrine of the Trinity really presents us with the true God of creation and redemption; if Jesus Christ really is what we confess him to be, that is, God from God, Light from Light, very God, from very God; and if original sin is as pervasive and debilitating as we believe it to be, then the doctrine of justification by faith alone is the only faithful interpretation of the New Testament promise of forgiveness, pardon and new life in Christ. While not agreeing with everything Luther or Calvin taught, Baptists claim the heritage of the Reformation as their own. We gladly identify ourselves with other evangelical believers who are "not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe" (Rom. 1:16).
The word "evangelical" has a myriad of other meanings as well, and Southern Baptists can rightly claim at least two of these. First, we are heirs of the Evangelical Awakening which swept across the eighteenth century producing Pietism in Germany, Methodism in England, and the First Great Awakening in the American colonies. Many features of Baptist life resonate deeply with this mighty moving of the Spirit of God. Our evangelistic witness and missionary vision, our historic emphasis on disciplined church life and godly living, our commitment to a regenerate church membership and Spirit-filled worship, our refusal to divorce the personal and social dimensions of the gospel.
More recently, the word "evangelical" has been associated with the post-fundamentalist resurgence among Bible-believing Christians in North America. Significantly, the two most formative shapers of this movement are both Southern Baptist: Billy Graham and Carl F. H. Henry. While certain moderate Southern Baptists, reflecting an entrenched parochialism, have eschewed the label "evangelical" as a "Yankee word" unworthy for Southern Baptists to wear, more and more Southern Baptists are discovering that they have far more in common with conservative, Bible-believing Christians in other denominations than they do with left-leaning Baptists in their own denomination.[16]
Far more important than wearing the label "evangelical," is the substance of the word in the three senses outlined here. Southern Baptists can and should rightly lay claim to the doctrinal legacy of the Reformation, the missionary and evangelistic impulse of the Great Awakening, and a transdenominational fellowship of Bible-believing Christians with whom we share a common commitment to the word of God and the task of world evangelization.
3. Reformed Perspective. Despite a persistent Arminian strain within Baptist life, for much of our history most Baptists adhered faithfully to the doctrines of grace as set forth in Pauline-Augustinian-Reformed theology. David Benedict, following his extensive tour of Baptist churches throughout America in the early nineteenth century, gave the following summary of the Baptist theology he encountered: "Take this denomination at large, I believe the following will be found a pretty correct statement of their views of doctrine. They hold that man in his natural condition is entirely depraved and sinful; but unless he is born again-changed by grace-or made alive unto God-he cannot be fitted for the communion of saints on earth, nor the enjoyment of God in heaven; that where God hath begun a good work, he will carry it on to the end; that there is an election of grace-an effectual calling, etc., and that the happiness of the righteous and the misery of the wicked will both be eternal."[17]
When in 1856 James Petigru Boyce set forth his plan for Southern Baptists' first theological seminary, he warned against the twin errors of Campbellism and Arminianism, the distinctive principles of which "have been engrafted upon many of our churches: and even some of our ministry have not hesitated publicly to avow them."[18]
As late as 1905, F. H. Kerfoot, Boyce's successor as professor of systematic theology at Southern Seminary, could still say, "Nearly all Baptists believe what are usually termed the `doctrines of grace.'"[19] E. Y. Mullins, who disliked the label "Calvinist" and "Arminian," sought to transcend the controversy altogether. While retaining most of the content of traditional Calvinist soteriology, he gave it a new casting by restating it in terms of his distinctive theology of experience.
For some the evangelical Calvinism of earlier Baptist generations has been eclipsed by a truncated hyper-Calvinism with its anti-missionary, anti-evangelistic emphasis. Many other factors have also contributed to the blurring of this part of the Reformation heritage which has shaped Baptist identity: the routinization of revivalism, the growth of pragmatism as a denominational strategy, an attenuated doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and a general theological laxity which has resulted in doctrinal apathy. While seeking to restate traditional themes in fresh contemporary ways, Baptists would do well to connect again with the ideas which inform the theology of such great heroes of the past as John Bunyan, Roger Williams, Andrew Fuller, Adoniram Judson, Luther Rice, and Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
I rejoice in the growing awareness of Reformed theology among Southern Baptists today. I know of nothing that has happened in the history of salvation since the days of James P. Boyce and B. H. Carroll which would make their understanding of God's grace obsolete in the modern world. To the contrary, a renewed commitment to the sovereignty of God in salvation, worship that centers on the glory of God rather than the entertainment of the audience, and a perspective on history and culture which sees Jesus Christ as Lord of time and eternity, all of this can only result in the building up of the Body of Christ.
At the same time, it is imperative for Reformed Southern Baptists to guard against the real dangers of hyper-Calvinism which emphasizes divine sovereignty to the exclusion of human responsibility and which denies that the offer of the gospel is to be extended to all peoples everywhere. And, as we call on our fellow Baptist brothers and sisters to return to the rock from which we were hewn, we must learn to live in gracious equipoise with some of them who don't ring all five bells quite the same way we do! In this regard we do well to heed the following statement by the great missionary statesman Luther Rice: "How absurd it is, therefore, to contend against the doctrine of election, or decrees, or divine sovereignty. Let us not, however, become bitter against those who view this matter in a different light, nor treat them in a super serious manner; rather let us be gentle towards all men. For who has made us to differ from what we once were? Who has removed the scales from our eyes?"[20]
4. Baptist Distinctives. While Baptists owe much to the great doctrinal legacy of the mainline reformers, our ecclesiology most closely approximates the Anabaptist ideal in its emphasis on the church as an intentional community composed of regenerated and baptized believers who are bound to one another and their Lord by a solemn covenant. One of the most important contributions which Baptists have made to the wider life of the church is the recovery of the early church practice of baptism as an adult right of initiation signifying a committed participation in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In many contemporary Baptist settings, however, baptism is in danger of being divorced from the context of the decisive life commitment. This unfortunate development is reflected both in the liturgical placement of baptism in the worship service-often tacked on at the end as a kind of afterthought-and also in the proper age and preparation of baptismal candidates. This situation muffles the historic Baptist protest against infant baptism, a protest which insisted on the intrinsic connection between biblical baptism and repentance and faith.[21]
We must also guard against a minimalist understanding of the Lord's Supper which reduces this vital ordinance to an empty ritual detached from the spiritual life of believers. Several years ago I experienced a powerful service of the Lord's Supper at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. During a Sunday morning service that great congregation was asked to kneel and prayerfully receive the elements while the meaning of the ordinance was carefully explained from the Scriptures. In this kind of setting the experience of worship is a transforming encounter with the living Christ. We need not fall prey to the lure of sacramentalism or the false doctrine of transubstantiation to reclaim the historic Baptist understanding of the Lord's Supper which has nowhere been better described than in the Second London Confession of 1689: "Worthy receivers, outwardly partaking of the visible elements in this ordinance, do then also inwardly by faith, really and indeed, yet not carnally and corporally, but spiritually receive, and feed upon Christ crucified and all the benefits of His death: the Body and Blood of Christ, being then not corporally, or carnally, but spiritually present to the faith of believers, in that ordinance, as the elements themselves are to the outward senses."
5. Confessional Context. On the 150th anniversary of the SBC, we would do well to remember and reclaim the confessional character of our common Christian commitment. Baptists are not a creedal people in that we regard no humanly devised statement as equal to the Bible. Nor do we believe that the state has any authority to impose religious beliefs on its subjects. However, Baptists have historically approved and circulated confessions of faith for a three-fold purpose: as an expression of our religious liberty, as a statement of our theological convictions, and as a witness of the truths we hold in sacred trust. Our confessions are always accountable to Holy Scripture and revisable in the light of that divine revelation.
Just as a confession declares what we believe, so a church covenant is concerned with how we live. It sets forth in practical terms the ideal of the Christian life: a living faith working by love leading to holiness. The congregation's covenant also outlines that process of mutual admonition and responsibility through which fellow believers engage to "watch over" one another through encouragement, correction, and prayer.
Finally, catechisis is concerned with passing on the faith intact to the rising generation. This responsibility is jointly shared by parents and pastors. May God give us again Baptist families and Baptist churches who will take seriously the awesome responsibility of indoctrinating our children in the things of God.
ConclusionIn his Commentary on Daniel (9:25), John Calvin compared the work of God among his ancient people with the challenge of his own day. "God still wishes in these days to build his spiritual temple amidst the anxieties of the times. The faithful must still hold the trowel in one hand and the sword in the other, because the building of the church must still be combined with many struggles." That struggle continues today not against enemies of flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against lethargy and laziness, against defection and darkness on every hand. Yet God does continue to build His church amidst the anxieties of the times. For 150 years he has blessed and used the people of God called Southern Baptists in ways that future historians will record as remarkable beyond belief. As we remember and give thanks for the mighty acts of God in days gone by, let us press forward in the earnest expectation that the Lord "hath yet more truth and light to break forth out of His Holy Word." Above all, let us never forget that it is "not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord."

The lasting cold is bad news for a Philadelphia woman and her newborn child.
The heat went out at their West Oak Lane apartment, and now their family has been living in the dangerously cold home for weeks, FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reports.
"It feels like Alaska, like it's freezing," said Lakresha Jolly.
The mother is worried sick about her children, especially her 1-month-old son, Jabril. She brought him home from the hospital and says two days later the heat went out.
"Him, it's life-threatening," Jolly said.
That's because Jabril was born premature, weighing only 4 pounds.
His body must be kept to a certain temperature, and Jolly says it's dangerously cold in her West Oak Lane apartment.
"He can die," she said. "Like, I've had -- he's not even technically supposed to be here. He was born 32 weeks, so that's my main concern."
The heat has been out in the entire building since March 5 with no specific date from management as to when the problem will be fixed.
In the meantime, Jolly's 4-year-old son Jah-lil, her sister, and niece Ameera are also suffering.
"She wakes up, her nose is all red, her hands are freezing. That's not OK," Jolly said.
All they have to keep warm is this single space heater to provide heat for five people.
"I can't have my kids living like this," Jolly said.
We contacted the management office Monday morning. In the past hour, we learned from them that a third plumber came out Monday to give an estimate for repairs. They will choose a company Tuesday to handle the problem.
The management company also put a letter in residents' doors apologizing for the inconvenience moments before our report on Mondays FOX 29 News at 6.

Clinical Features:
Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is characterized by intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, Hirschsprung disease or severe constipation, genitourinary anomalies, congenital heart defects, agenesis or hypogenesis of the corpus callosum, eye defects (microphthalmia and Axenfeld anomaly), growth retardation, epilepsy, and microcephaly. Typical facial features include medially flared broad eyebrows, pointed chin, hypertelorism, uplifted ear lobes with a central depression and prominent columella.
Molecular Genetics:
All patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of MWS have mutations in the ZEB2 gene. ZEB2 is located on chromosome 2p22 and it encodes Smad-interacting protein-1 (SMADIP1). Missense, splice site, nonsense, and large deletions have been identified in the ZEB2 gene.
Test Methods:
We offer DNA sequence analysis and deletion/duplication testing of the entire coding region of the ZEB2 gene. These tests can be ordered as a panel or individually. PCR amplification and sequence analysis is performed on the coding exon including splice junctions. The patient's gene sequence is compared to a reference sequence. Sequence variants are classified as mutations, variants of unknown significance or benign variants unrelated to disease. Variants of unknown significance may warrant further studies in the patient and other family members. Mutations in promoters, deep intronic regions and other regulatory regions will not be identified with this assay. Large deletions and duplications will be detected using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay (MLPA).
Detection Rate:
Sequence analysis of the ZEB2 gene detects point mutations in roughly 80% of patients with MWS. More than 50% of these mutations are present in exon 8 of the ZEB2 gene. Large deletions within the ZEB2 gene are detected in roughly 17% of patients with MWS. An additional 2-3% of patients have chromosomal rearrangements that disrupt the ZEB2 gene. The majority of cases are de novo.
Related Tests:
Known mutation analysis is available to family members for mutations previously identified by sequence analysis.
Test results with interpretation will be mailed and/or faxed to the referring physician or send out lab following completion of the test. Additional reports will be provided as requested.
The clinical utility of the assay is to support a clinical diagnosis of the disease, facilitate genetic counseling, and assess the risk to other first degree relatives and to facilitate testing of at - risk family members.

I tried the mandolin kerfing for one of the 3 ukuleles I'm doing and it worked well during the glue up - the strip fit a tenor nearly perfectly -the light color might not work as well for Koa
Great item. Just can't justify my time to make these. Just thankful that someone makes a mandolin or uke size.
Every now and then I go to my shop and make a dulcimer or two. I use to make the kerf linings to give a little more glue serface, then, I tried your linings what a time saver and their better than my homemade ones, there great. I also get the dulcimer friction pegs; they are just right gor the tradional mountian dulcimer; however I would like to be able to get them with white or ivory for the thumb turns. Great products.
These are a nice option for concert, tenor and baritone ukuleles
These look Great and i felt it was the best to use the stew mac kerfed lining instead of making my own.
These kerfed lining are perfect for ukulele. I used 4 or 5 pieces to make my first uke.
This Kerfed Lining is going to work like a charm on the Dulcimer I'm building.
They shipped short on my order over a month ago and I only caught it when I started the build this week. They had a replacement shipped and delivered in a heartbeat!
StewMac the best products and customer service in the industry.
1st time mandolin builder, and the kit (from another source) did not include this. I purchased this kerfed lining and I'm glad I did. Made the top and bottom joining much easier and a stronger joint. Easy to work with.
These look very nice and for the cost i felt it was beneficial to use the stew mac kerfed lining instead of making my own. I used 8 pieces to make my first dulcimer.
I found this is just the right size for a Tenor Uke. It saves a lot of time in the shop, to have this pre made.

In its latest update, much-beloved media center application XBMC added one-click add-on installation, bringing browser-like extensions to your Media center. If you've ever wanted to incorporate watching TV, listening to podcasts, or playing video games to your XBMC box, the new add-on system is incredibly easy to use, and can power your box up to do all sorts of things. Here's how it works, followed by a few of our favorite XBMC add-ons.
Before XBMC 10.0 Dharma, installing add-ons was kind of a pain. You had to download an archive, unzip it in the right place on your XBMC machine's hard drive, possibly edit some configuration files, and hope everything worked correctly. Now, XBMC has a built-in add-on manager that lets you browse, download, and install add-ons with just a few clicks of your remote. If you've avoided XBMC add-ons in the past, you'll want to take another look, because you can add some pretty awesome features to your home theater PC with minimal effort. Here's how to install add-ons with the new system, along with a list of our favorites to get you started. (If you just want to see what kind of cool features you can get with XBMC add-ons, jump down to the Our Favorite Add-ons section.)
Downloading and Installing Add-Ons
Installing add-ons is incredibly simple, though it may take an extra step or two depending on whether the add-on is officially supported by XBMC. The first thing you'll want to do is make sure you have the latest version of XBMC installed (10.0 at the time of this writing). Then, follow these instructions to get add-ons up and running on your system.
Installing From the Official XBMC Repository
XBMC's add-on system works very much like a Linux distribution (for those of you that are familiar with the process). There are a few different places you can get add-ons, called repsitories. One repository comes built-in to XBMC, so you can get right to browsing the add-on catalog without any extra work. All you need to do is open up XBMC and head to System > Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons. At this point, your only choice will be "XBMC.org Add-ons" (the main repository). After clicking that, XBMC will present you with a number of categories to choose from, like Music Add-ons, Program Add-ons, Skins, and so on. Within these categories, you'll find tons of add-ons you can choose from.
To get more information about an add-on, just select it, and you'll get a window explaining what the add-on does. From there, you can just hit the "Install" button to install the add-on. To access it, just go to its category (e.g., if you installed a "Music Add-on", you'd head back to the main menu and go to Music > Music Add-Ons). You may have to edit the add-on's settings before you can use it (usually by highlighting it and going to the context menu with the "c" key on your keyboard, or whatever the corresponding button is on your remote). For more information on specific add-ons, check out our list of favorites below.
Adding New Add-On Repositories to XBMC
There are a few third-party add-ons that you won't find in XBMC by default. To install them, you'll need to add their repositories, which you can find on this wiki page. Most revolve around a specific add-on or language set, though there are a few general repositories that contain a few different third party add-ons.
To install a third-party repository, just download its zip file from that wiki page to your computer. Then, in XBMC, head to System > Add-Ons and click "Install from zip file". Navigate to the zip file on your computer, and hit Install. Then, when you head to "Get Add-Ons", you'll see the new repository listed as a choice, and you can browse add-ons from it just like you did the official repository.
Our Favorite Add-Ons
While we'd recommend browsing the repositories to see what cool add-ons you find, there are definitely some we'd consider must-haves. Here are some of our favorites (all of them are from the official XBMC repository unless otherwise noted).
Content Channels
Location: Audio Add-Ons and Video Add-Ons, available in many repositories
What they Do: It's not one specific add-on, but if you look in Audio Add-Ons and Video Add-Ons, you can usually find quite a few of your favorite content providers, from whom you can stream shows right from the Music or Video sections of XBMC. They range from real broadcast channels like PBS, NPR, Fox News, and Cartoon Network to podcast networks like TWiT, Jupiter Broadcasting, TED Talks, Revision3, and even web videos like YouTube and Funny or Die.
And those are just the ones that come with XBMC. You can also find some other great ones in third-party repositories, like CNN in the Google Code repository, Democracy Now and The Guild in the Queeup repository, and Adult Swim, the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and more in the Bluecop repository.
XBMC Flicks - Netflix for XBMC
Location: Video Add-Ons
What it Does: This does exactly what it sounds like: plays your Netflix Instant queue on your XBMC box! Unfortunately, this one only works on Windows and Mac OS X, since it requires Microsoft Silverlight. Right now, Linux users and XBMC standalone installs are out of luck.
Update: We now recommend you use NetfliXBMC for Netflix instead of XBMC Flicks, so check out our guide on how to install it here.
Hulu and Hulu Plus
Location: Bluecop Repository > Video Add-Ons
What it Does: Hulu's been on XBMC before, but Hulu keeps killing the plugin and making us sad. The newest iteration of the plugin works fantastically well, allowing you to browse TV shows by popularity, recently added, alphabetically, and even search through the database with a few taps on your keyboard (or remote, if you don't have a keyboard handy). Best of all: the plugin works for both Hulu and Hulu Plus. Just acess the add-on's settings to enter your username and password to get access to Hulu Plus-only shows. Here's hoping Hulu doesn't take this plugin down too quickly.
Blu-Ray Disc Support
Location: This forum thread, via a Zip file (install the same way you would a new repository).
What they Do: We've shown you how to enable Blu-Ray playback in XBMC before, and now that script is available as an add-on for the new system. Just install like you would the above add-ons, and install MakeMKV as described in our Blu-Ray how-to. This one's still in development, so it might not be perfect, but if you don't feel like ripping your Blu-Ray discs before watching, this is your best bet.
Location: Album Information, Artist Information, Movie Information, etc.
What they Do: XBMC comes with a few "scrapers" that get info for your movies, TV shows, and music, but if you'd like to use another scraper, you can find quite a few in the XBMC add-ons library. This is most useful if you have a particularly niche need (like anime shows or metal music) that the regular scrapers don't fulfill.
Location: Audio Add-Ons
What it Does: You can search GrooveShark, play and create playlists, and generally just jam out to whatever music your heart desires.
Multiroom Audio
Location: Program Add-Ons
What it Does: This lets you play audio on multiple XBMC boxes at once. So, if you wanted to play music in the living room and the kitchen at the same time, this would be the add-on you use. It only works on Windows and Linux, and takes a bit of setup to use, but the developer has written some very nice instructions that should get you up and running in no time.
Location: Audio Add-Ons
What it Does: You feed it an OPML of your favorite podcast feeds, and you can stream them right from the Music section of XBMC.
Location: Video Add-Ons in the Passion-XBMC.org Repository
What it Does: This is a pretty cool add-on that will download the theme song to each TV show in your library, and loop the songs of each show as you browse through them. It only works with certain skins, but is a fun little feature to add.
Location: Program Add-Ons
What they Do: Whether you use BitTorrent or Usenet to download your movies and TV shows, XBMC has quite a few download managers in its add-ons catalog. By setting up uTorrent's WebUI, Trasmission's Remote Control, or Usenet through SABnzbd and inputting the right information to the corresponding XBMC add-on, you can check on (and, in come cases, even start and stop) your downloads from your TV, whether they're on that computer or a remote one.
Advanced Launcher
Location: Angelscry Repository > Program Add-Ons
What it Does: Want to play video games on your XBMC box without having to leave XBMC? We actually showed you how to use the original Launcher plugin back before add-ons were easy to install—now all you need to do is install the plugin from Program Add-Ons and get to emulatin'.
Advanced Launcher isn't the only add-on of its type available; if you aren't happy with it, you can also check out the original Launcher add-on and ROM Collection Browser, both available in the Official XBMC Repository. Advanced Launcher looks like it has the most advanced thumbnail and fanart scraping capabilities, though.
XBMC Library Auto Update
Location: Program Add-Ons
What it Does: If you'd prefer not to have to restart XBMC every time you add something new to the library (or every time your automated system does it for you), you can start up this add-on at the beginning of your XBMC session, and it will automatically scan your library for new content on a certain time interval.
XBMC File Cleaner
Location: Program Add-Ons
What it Does: This neat little extension scans your library for watched TV shows and movies and deletes them based on things like age, rating, and free space on your disk. You can further configure how it works in its settings. Be careful with this one; if you aren't, you could delete all your movies (yikes!).
Location: Skin, in many repositories (specifically, the Passion-XBMC.org repo has quite a few)
What they Do: No longer will you have to manually search out and download XBMC skins for your box! Just head to the "Skin" section of the add-ons manager, and you'll find a nice helping of popular XBMC skins that you can install with one click.
These are just a few of our favorite add-ons we've found after playing with the new version of XBMC. There are quite a few more out there, so head over to the XBMC add-ons manager. You're bound to find something pretty awesome. When you do, be sure to share your favorite add-ons with us in the comments.

My son is 8. He weighs 76 lbs and is 55" tall. What bat would you recommend?
I would highly recommend the COMBAT B4 Portent XL (B4SL210). Based on your son's height and weight, I would recommend a 28" bat.
My son is 7 years old (will turn 8 Sept 1st). He is big for his age (56" 115-120lbs) and is moving up to play with pitching machine/kid pitch, Mustang league. What do you recommend? The chart says 29" but I wonder if 28" is better for now.
Using our Bat Coach, I determined that a 29" bat would be the size I suggest for your son in the COMBAT B4 Portent XL (B4SL210).
Some leagues don't allow composite bats. Can my son use this bat in 8U under Nations Baseball?
According to the Nations Baseball website there are no restrictions in that age group. Therefore, the COMBAT B4 Portent XL (B4SL21) would be legal. Here is a link to the website: http://www.nations-baseball.com/documents/Nations%20Baseball%20Rules%202014.pdf
Product Description
New for 2013! COMBAT's new B4 Portent XL is not just any big barrel bat. With it's enlarged 2 3/4 inch barrel, the B4 Portent XL has a HUGE hitting surface and COMBAT's new FULL BARREL SWEETSPOT! Yes, you read that right. There is no such thing as a mishit with this bat, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. It all starts with COMBAT's Localized Stiffening Technology that allows their engineers to lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweet spot, resulting in an enlarged sweet spot area where absolute maximum performance can be achieved! The 100% composite, one-piece B4 Portent XL utilizes COMBAT's Blended Fiber Technology that blends several different fibers in varying proportions at carefully controlled angles to create a composite material that results in both resilient durability and increased trampoline effect. Separation Barrier Technology also allows this bat to be HOT out of the wrapper! SmartFlex and SmartPly technologies work together to make this the smartest bat ever constructed. The result is a continuous store-and-release monster that will allow players to think beyond the warning track, beyond the wall, and beyond the park. COMBAT: For Players, By Players. The B4 Portent XL features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
